Chronicle of an announced closure. A few months ago we saw the silent, inexorable decline of the New York Deli, the city's genuine gastronomic soul.

Even 80 years ago there were four thousand, now they are just over 20.

The most famous obviously remains Kat'z Delicatessen, with all the annexes and connected: pastrami sandwich and assault on the table of Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in the famous orgasmic scene of Harry, this is Sally.

The new generation Americans seem to prefer something other than the cured meat made of stuffed meat, generous in protein and emigrated from Eastern Europe to the New World.

Well, the Carnegie Deli, one of the most famous, true culinary myth of the Big Apple, served up its latest pastrami-filled rye sandwich on December 31, 2016 after more than 80 years of honorable and uninterrupted service.

The news was given by Jake Dell, the young owner of the luckiest Kat'z Delicattesn, with a letter sent to the York Times.

With a few years less than the Kat'z, over the decades the Carnegie Deli has attracted several famous names to its tables, despite the financial burians, which began in 1987, with the death of one of the owners (a certain Leo Steiner), and perpetrated by jealousies and quarrels between the various and members.

The city health office was also involved, which in 2015 gave orders to close the restaurant for a few months, due to poor hygiene.

In reality, the historic New York restaurant closes by the will of the owner Marian Harper Levine; his family has owned it since 1976:

"I am very sad to close Carnegie Deli but the time has come in my life when I have to take a step back."

Dell has instead reassured everyone on the fate of the Katz that it is not at risk of closure, indeed the home service will be implemented as well as shipments.
